XDrawString() XDrawString() Name XDrawString - draw an 8-bit text string, foreground only. Synopsis XDrawString(display, drawable, gc, x, y, string, length) Display *display; Drawable drawable; GC gc; int x, y; char *string; int length; Arguments display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay(). drawable Specifies the drawable. gc Specifies the graphics context. x Specify the x and y coordinates of the baseline starting position for the character, relative to the origin of the specified y drawable. string Specifies the character string. length Specifies the number of characters in string. Description XDrawString() draws the given string into a drawable using the foreground only to draw set bits in the font. It does not affect any other pixels in the bounding box for each character. The y coordinate defines the baseline row of pixels while the x coordinate is the point from which lbearing, rbearing, and width are mea- sured. XDrawString() uses these graphics context components: function, plane_mask, fill_style, font, subwindow_mode, clip_x_origin, clip_y_ori- gin, and clip_mask. This function also uses these graphics context mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, ts_x_origin, and ts_y_origin. Each character image, as defined by the font in gc, is treated as an additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable.

XDrawImageString16() XDrawImageString16() Name XDrawImageString16 - draw 16-bit image text characters. Synopsis XDrawImageString16(display, drawable, gc, x, y, string, length) Display *display; Drawable drawable; GC gc; int x, y; XChar2b *string; int length; Arguments display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay(). drawable Specifies the drawable. gc Specifies the graphics context. x Specify the x and y coordinates of the baseline starting position for the image text character, relative to the origin of the y specified drawable. string Specifies the character string. length Specifies the number of characters in the string argument. Description XDrawImageString16() draws a string, but unlike XDrawString16() it draws both the foreground and the background of the characters. It draws the characters in the foreground and fills the bounding box with the background. XDrawImageString16() uses these graphics context components: plane_mask, foreground, background, font, subwindow_mode, clip_x_origin, clip_y_ origin, and clip_mask. The function and fill_style defined in gc are ignored; the effective function is GXcopy and the effective fill_style is FillSolid. XDrawImageString16() first fills a destination rectangle with the background pixel defined in gc, and then paints the text with the fore- ground pixel. The upper-left corner of the filled rectangle is at [x, y - font_ascent], the width is overall->width and the height is ascent + descent, where overall->width, ascent, and descent are as would be returned by XQueryTextExtents16() using gc and string.
